Wow. Just…wow. This guy is an elected representative? Not exactly a Mensa member here. Get over it buddy — the world is changing around you and your whiteness, maleness and straightness (all of which traits I share with him, by the way).

I would like to know what exactly is it about a PhD from Yale, a JD from Harvard, and an impeccable and measured two decades on the bench that suggests that Judge Lenk is somehow not qualified to serve on the SJC?

The people in Iowa have the right idea. When the Judges didn’t follow the peoples wishes they were defeated at the polls.Governors councelors are ELECTED. Pay attention to how they vote and send them a message.The 175,000 voters that were blown off by the Politicians should have the opportunity to right that wrong now.175,000 votes could make a big difference. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

What are you talking about Cynic? They guy has issues w/ the diversity of the choices being made.. And if he doesn’t then maybe he should choose his words more carefully! What’s wrong w/ someone being black, asian and/or gay? Does he believe only White Men can do or should do the job? Believe me I have no problem w/ people and their opinion as I have many of my own… but they aren’t usually based on race or sexual preference!
